Laverne Cox has praised Caitlyn Jenner for giving the transgender community "diverse representation" in the public eye.

The Orange Is The New Black actress is a big supporter of the star, and she has spoken out again to insist while her journey was different, that range of experiences is important to other people going through their transitions.

Speaking on The Talk, she said: "It's not about positive representation or negative representation, but diverse representation.

"When I think about Caitlyn's story it's so very different from mine. I transitioned in my 20s. Working class. Black."
